Cameron Park

1.1 acre open grassy area for active or passive enjoyment in the College Terrace neighborhood.

History

Cameron Park sits along with Mayfield, Weisshaar, and Werry, as one of the four old Mayfield parks. Dating back to 1888, the mini parks, positioned symmetrically, were originally called Berkeley, Hollywood, Hampton, and Eton. In 1968, Berkeley was renamed for Donaldina M. Cameron, who, as a young woman, became director of the Presbyterian Mission Home for Chinese Women in San Francisco. Upon retiring, Cameron lived at 1020 California Avenue in College Terrace until she died at age 98 in 1968.

Completed Cameron Park Renovation Project

The Cameron Park Renovation Capital Improvement Project is now complete. The project featured a newly upgraded playground, pathways for increased connectivity and accessibility, site amenities, and landscaping around the park.
